Living at an Ashram
INDIA | Friday, 24 October 2008 | Views [346]
For the past week I have been at the ashram. It has been a very
internal and personal week. Most of my experiences have been limited to
the 28 people in my course and the many volunteers at the Ashram.
Practicing this much yoga in such a structured environment has been
intense. It brings up a lot for everyone. I have felt challenges in
simply living in such close quarters with everyone and never being
alone for very long. I'm learning how to let grudges with people, and
little things go. I think that is the hardest thing. Some people are
having really personal experiences of letting things go, physically,
mentally, emotionally and spiritually. The practices bring up so much.
It is kind of like therapy, but at a much deeper level. People cry here
and there all the time. --but it is all positive and transformative. My body feels so strong. I
have been fortunate enough not to get sick. Diarhea goes around a lot!
There are often snakes. october is the most snaky time of the year.
They caught a viper the other day. Some of the most poisonous snakes in
the entire world.
I am having a wonderful time!
I posted some pictures. Take a look!
